If you get hurt at work, in the US, you are entitled to Workmen's Compensation. Which is different from unemployment because unemployment comes out of a bunch of money that you have put in there with hours worked in the previous year.

Unemployment really has nothing to do with injury or not....its solely about no longer working for a company anymore and if you quit or they either fired you or laid you off.
If you quit (regardless of why), you are not entitled. If they fired you, my understanding is that you may not be entitled - especially if it was for cause (i.e. doing something you shouldn't have been). If you were laid off, then you should be entitled.

That usually falls under the category of "Workers Compensation Laws" if it is work injury. Anything outside of work injuries would be taken care of by unemployment benefits or insurances like Aflec or others.

No unless the doctor has confirmed that you can't work permanently due to injuries suffered at work. Then again, you can claim workmen's compensation from the company you work with for your injuries.
